| <p> |
| The following are some of the proposed ideas and tasks for commons-io: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>A proper user guide.</li> |
| <li>FilePoller for telling when a file changes. Look in Tomcat, or GenJava[bayard]</li> |
| <li>A "hot folder" handler which triggers an action when a new file has been uploaded to an FTP directory, for example.</li> |
| <li>JoinReader/ConcatReader. One in GenJava, one submitted to Bayard</li> |
| <li>FormattedWriter, when it writes out values it uses Format objects to output them. </li> |
| <li>FixedWidthReader. Reads in files with a known width, ie) mainframe like. </li> |
| <li>FileUtils could use a copyDirectory() method (possibly making use of IOFileFilters)</li> |
| </ul> |
